This post is about a girl. A girl called Parul Yadav.  I feel a strange positive vibe whenever I come across works being done by this super girl. She is working as Assistant Manager (Community Development) and is presently posted at Block B Area of NCL. The way she sends her press note is a clear differentiator. She always writes in stark clarity about various dimensions of events happening at Block-B. Plus, there is an added element of  ‘extra mile’ she goes in all the programmes she organises/understakes. Take, for…

Few months ago, I was transferred from Personnel Department to CC & PR Department ( Corporate Communications and Public Relations Department (commonly known as PR Department) of my organisation.

At that moment, I was both shocked and happy. Happy for all…

First, today this is a much acclaimed sentence being shared widely on various digital forums. And secondly, these set of words perfectly suit one of  a NCL officer named Amrendra Kumar. Amrendra Kumar is working as Assistant Manager (Community Development) at Amlohri Area of NCL and wherever he goes, he leaves a little sparkles of our company- the…

What I chanced upon today. The snapshots-     So, I made this whole new  id called nodalofficer.ccpr@gmail.com for sending NCL Kakri event updates  to CC & PR Department, NCL. Because If Bhaskar doesn’t know it, it had not happened.  And now when I know the set-up, I laugh at my gung-ho approach of creating an id without the project name. Indeed, ignorance is bliss- renders one amiss! #Nostalgia #KakriDiary

There is so much we learn by observing. There is so much we learn by reading in between the lines. Everyone at every moment  is a new lesson. Same person at different moments- a new lesson. Different persons at same moment- a new lesson. Lessons might be good or bad.  But learning isn’t. Learning is learning. There can not be an adjective to learning. This is an article about my takeaways from Mr.L.P.Godse’s (GM Kakri) speech on NCL Foundation Day celebrations at Project Kakri. Watching and listening to GM Kakri…

As a son of a wagon loader in Coal India Limited, Dev has seen deprivation from close quarters.  Given the limited resources, Dev’s parents could only afford a Hindi medium school for their children.
